INCYTE is pleased to host a community meeting on March 25, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. at the Blue Ball Barn at Alapocas Run State Park to discuss their redevelopment of 1701 & 1703 Augustine Cut Off, adjacent to their existing corporate campus (also known as New Castle County Tax Parcel Nos. 06‐143.00‐002, 06‐136.00‐126 and 06‐143.00‐010, formerly the Campanella Auto & Tire Center and the adjacent office complex).

The proposed redevelopment includes the construction of a new 183,000 square foot state of the art laboratory building and an associated 2‐story parking deck. The proposed site plan will include connectivity with Incyte’s existing campus, landscaping, stormwater management and a continuation of the 8‐foot multi‐use path along Augustine Cut Off. INCYTE and their design team are working with the New Castle County Department of Land Use regarding the design of the site and would like to share their proposed plan with the community.

The Naamans Creek contingent usually pulls out over 2 tons of trash each year from the stream and surroundings. This trash includes car tires (last year 42 tires were removed), shopping carts, wire, and wooden fencing. Most of the material is plastic bags and bottles, soda and beer cans and newspaper circulars. We clean about 16 different sites in our watershed. County Councilman John Cartier participated in the cleanup in 2018 1-800-GotJunk picks up our trash.

Please post on your community page. The Naamans Creek Watershed Association would like input and assistance from residents so we clean as much of the area as we can. There are also quite a few tributaries of Naamans Creek that run through some parkland and some private property. If the main creek or a tributary of Naamans Creek (any small creek entering the Delaware River through Claymont, Perkins Run, or Stoney Run) flows through your neighborhood and has trash collections in it please notify Marianne Cinaglia at mcinaglia@aol.com. The Water Resource Authority puts Perkins Run and Stoney Run in the Naamans Creek Watershed.

Paper Shredding- Residents can bring up to 2 file boxes of personal confidential papers for shredding (financial and legal documents, receipts, and tax and medical records). Papers with staples or paper clips are accepted.

CCOBH is pleased, once again, to present, “Ask the Lawyer: Your Questions about Your Civic or Homeowner Associations Answered,” a returning entry in its series of seminars for assistance to current board members of Civic Associations and Homeowner Associations in Brandywine Hundred.

This seminar is intended to provide Civic and Homeowner Association Board members with answers to their most pressing legal issues involving their community association on which they serve as a member of the Board of Directors. This seminar, to be led by CCOBH President, Robert J. Valihura, Jr., Esquire, will cover topics of concern for the community, and can include: Corporate formation and compliance issues; intra-board dispute resolution, legal issue involving collection of annual dues and fees, legal enforceability of restrictive covenants and deed restrictions or any other issue of importance which Board members would like guidance about but were reluctant to retain a lawyer.

A former State Representative and a current Adjunct Professor of Law teaching the Delaware Corporate law applicable to corporations and Civic and Homeowner Associations, Bob focuses his practice on representation of communities such as yours up and down the state.

IMPORTANT: The issues which are likely to be covered will focus on what the Board can and cannot do, so please come with a copy of your certificate of incorporation, your bylaws, your community’s deed restrictions and, if applicable, any Declaration that binds your community. Because of CCOBH’s focus on representing civic and homeowner associations, this seminar will not address individual homeowner issues, including disputes that are just between homeowners or homeowner disputes with their homeowner or civic association.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn what you need to know to more effectively and knowledgeably represent your community. CCOBH hopes to see you on Wednesday, February 6th at 6:00 p.m. at the Claymont Library.
